During this reveal , the Hulk single - handedly takes on the combine might of the Ultimates , and crushes them with his mystical king flux with his globe - breaking strength - indeed , just one lick hits like “ 15 nuclear dud ” , and that ’s hardly itch the aerofoil .

InThe Ultimates#6 by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri , the Ultimates - consisting of Iron Lad , Captain America , She - Hulk , Giant - Man , Wasp , Thor , Sif , Hawkeye , America Chavez , and the Human Torch - are better into another one of the Maker ’s facilities . This time , they ’re doing so to disembarrass a group of prisoners that ( like them ) were meant to be superheroes , beforethe Maker traveled to this world and reshaped it to his liking . However , the Ultimates had bad intel . When they opened the vault to the Maker ’s ‘ prison ’ , they found themselves in K’un - Lun , with the Hulk expect for them there .

The Ultimates are very aware of who the Hulk is , as he ’s a prominent appendage ofthe Maker ’s Council . While the mission to save a group of imprisoned would - be - heroes is a tear , they can at least take down this immense menace to mankind . alas , that ’s way easier order than done . When She - Hulk attack Hulk , he charge his fist just as fan have view Earth-616 Danny Rand do many times , and strikes her with a punch that impinge on like “ 15 nuclear bombs ” .

Hulk Becoming the Atomic Iron Fist is His Greatest Upgrade in Marvel History

Hulk isn’t Just Extra Powerful, but is Way Deadlier in More Ways than 1

The obvious power - upgrade that hail with fuse the Hulk ’s proven lastingness through Vasco da Gamma variation and that of the Immortal Iron Fist is put on full display in this issue ofThe Ultimates . However , that ’s only a fraction of why this raise is so not bad . Not only is the Hulk physically hard than he ’s ever been , but he also have the title of the Iron Fist , which alone comes with some reasonably epic perk .

Hulk is the defender of K’un - Lun , have in mind he has outright access to this transcendental plane . Given his nefarious status , the Hulk mistreat his character as K’un - Lun ’s shielder , and became its vanquisher instead . And since he is the Iron Fist , the residents of K’un - Lun have no pick but to espouse him - and they do so with undying loyalty . This mean the Hulk not only has a permanent substructure of functioning ( which is an upgrade from the famous waywardness of his Earth-616 counterpart ) , but he also has an army of trained fighters that ’s fast only to him .

The Hulk has also become an expert hand - to - hand combatant . One of the main processes of becoming the Iron Fist is martial prowess preparation , as one can not go for to take such mogul from brute intensity level and determination alone . So , the Hulk underwent the necessary education , and - as this issue shows - he became a warriorlike artistic production expert . That means the Hulk is n’t just devilishly strong on a cosmic scale , he is also a civilize hero , meaning he can likely tangle with the best the world has to offer and still come out on top .

Marvel Already Proved Iron Fist is Strong Enough to Defeat the Avengers

Thunderbolts#137 by Rick Remender and Mahmud Asrar

While watching the Hulk wipe the floor with the Ultimate Universe ’s version of the Avengers might have been shocking to see ( specially since the Avengers and the Ultimates of the past have battled the Hulk before , and have always fall out on top ) , Marvel Comics actually already prove why the Atomic Iron Fist ’s victory is so sound . InThunderbolts#137,Iron Fist is put through a series of hyperrealistic simulations where he ’s battling the Avengerssingle - handedly , and every time , he wipe out them like it ’s nothing .

Iron Fist punch through Spider - Man ’s chest , launches Captain America ’s carapace at Wolverine ’s head , ricochets a bullet fire by Captain America back at him with his enchanted hands , and most take off Luke Cage ’s drumhead with a super - powered chop . And this is a interlingual rendition of Iron Fist that ’s not only loth to fight the Avengers , but does n’t have the add strength of the Hulk . Therefore , when the Ultimates went up against the Atomic Iron Fist , they never even had a chance .

Hulk has had his problems with much every Avenger that has appeared in the MCU , but he detest one most of all - & he at last got to smash them !
